1:00 pm
how old is the oldest person you've known? we gave people a sticker and had them show us. we learned a lot of us have known someone who's lived well into their 90s. and that's a great thing. but even though we're living longer,
1:01 pm
one thing that hasn't changed: the official retirement age. ♪ the question is how do you make sure you have the money you need to enjoy all of these years. ♪ ship shep the star of the show breaking bad tells cops somebody broke into this car and stole the bag that contained a script for the show's final season. according to the criminal complaint it happened to bryan cranston in new mexico earlier this month. the police arrested a suspect but the script is still missing, and the hit amc series is wrapping up the final season. he plays the character walter white, high school chemistry teacher who becomes a meth dealer after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. putting the wrap on things. guess what the dow has done?
1:02 pm
all this miss in cyprus, all this stuff, everybody so concerned. the next time they tell you everything is awful, tell them it ist. ring bell. [bell ringing] >> because it isn't. everything is not awful. you think everything is awful all the time, that's all you think, everything will be awful. awful is awful. isn't it awful? how about something positive? >> neil: welcome. i'm neil cavuto and today your world coming from, well, a typical american street. well, one with an urban feel, new york city to be exact. and i wanted you to picture something that is going on in cyprus and maybe put it in privilege what is going on half a world away. imagine if you wanted to go to an atm machine or a bank and everyone you hit up was closed. you go to td ameritrade. closed. citibank, closed. bank of america, closed.
1:03 pm
wells fargo. closed. all these banks, all these offices, within a block of where i stand right now, but none of them are open. you can't get your money.n ablet your money for upwards of a week. it's been the way things have been in cyprus now for the better part of a week. imagine going that long, not getting access to your cash. imagine being a rich depositor and seeing the government take close to half that cash. now you've got an idea of how bad this problem is and how if it happened here, it would feel a heck of a lot worse. that's why we're on the street, because we want to talk to folks. there but by the grace of god, what would it be like if it happened to them. >> it's -- be careful where they invest expect put it. >> it's absolutely frightening
1:04 pm
what's happening. the people must be deaf stated. >> what would you do if you couldn't get access to you money for a week or more. >> it's scary. >> what is happening in cyprus could happen here if we hit a situation where, what i think would be reality, there's not enough money to cover government debt, all of the obligations. >> to the point i won't be able to access my money would worry me so i would probably consider moving it somewhere else. >> neil: couldn't get access to your money, what would you do? >> try to get my money out. >> neil: back with my friend charles payne on what is going on over there and whether it could happen here. what do you think? >> the answer is, yes, it could. obviously wouldn't happen tomorrow but, listen, two weekends ago the people of cyprus, hard-working people, win into the weekend thinking i have a few euros the bank, things are pretty good. and on monday the banks were closed and the government was talking about taking a big chunk
1:05 pm
of what they thought was untouchable. so the idea that it could not happen here would be ridiculous. we saw what happened yesterday. the finances minister -- >> neil: the temp plat. >> he tack it pa back on twitter a little bit but this is the template so if i'm in italy, there's no way in the world i have more than 100,000 euros in thing. >> neil: about if you have less than that, the fact of the matter is, a precedent has been brokenning are right? bank accounts have been attend, and even those that have not been tapped, have been shuttered. and when they're re-opened the government will tell you how much cash you can take out and when, and it's going to monitor how often you go to that atm. >> that's very scary. they were going to open tomorrow. not open. how about thursday? how do you stop it. here's the irony. the longer they wait the worst
1:06 pm
it's going to be. the cat is out of the bag. if i had tenure rows they would come after it. so they cleaned up the plan but they're not even sure they can get enough money from the rich people and the russian ollie -- oligarchies. >> when they eventually re-open wouldn't human nature tell you people are going to go up and try to clear this thing out. the government won't let them so drip, drip, drip clearing out. what are we looking senate. >> -- looking at? >> drink drip, drip, a mask amount of money and a time before they can get more. they're own money will be rationed to them and good luck if you can pay your bills or not. neil northeasterly amazing. so to put a perfect -- charles did it far better than i -- whether you're directly affected by this or not you effectively have the government decides when you can take out the money and
1:07 pm
how much you can take out. there is precedent for this in this country. i can go back to franklin roosevelt and the earliest days of his administration. night and day, they say, can't happen again, they say. but i'd only remind you of this, it's happening right now, again, and they used to say, it could never happen again. the latest now from what's going on in cyprus to greg. >> the bank behind me is one reason why people here in cyprus are so upset. it was supposed to open today and it didn't. in fact the government decided to delay the re-opening of all banks here until at least thursday. by thursday, folks here will have had no access to banks, online banking, electronic transfers, for nearly two weeks. atms are working, if they have cash, and that is rare. the limit on withdrawals? 100 euros, $130. the reason for the delay, officials want to have
1:08 pm
restrictions in place. they're trying to prevent a run on the banks. that could still happen. all across the area there were protests, several thousand students were out. they're worried about their future. part of the bailout of the near bankrupt country worked out between cyprus and the european union could mean a slowdown in the economy and increase in unemployment. folks are also marching on the central bank here. people are worried about their money. they're concerned about the controversial approach to seize assets from private bank accounts to pay for the government rescue. analysts and markets are not sure. more uncertainty in this global economy. >> neil: thank you, greg. you know something is going on in sign press just changed over the last 24 hours, new villain in town and it's the banks. so the government has successfully managed to keep the focus on the evil banks, even
1:09 pm
when you consider the fact that the banks are really doing things the government -- at the government's behest but might find a little odd that the head of cyprus bank had to resign, and the president of the country is looking at a formal criminal probe into bank activity ahead of this. how familiar and similar does that sound to what happened here? i don't know, right after the big meltdown. i'm not the only one having a case of deja vu. so is my friend jerry willis from the fox business network. jerry, i don't think banks are saying this but there are american few sinners here. >> the government bureaucrats have failed on every count. the blew the negotiations with the iu, thought they would get money out of russia, didn't work, and now they're micromanaging the banks.
1:10 pm
the money is flying out in. i the governmenting seeing, whatever you're doing, keep doing it, because the money is coming in fast and it was proving such -- >> you can't see between these two. the government and banks are so close -- when you say banks are bad, the government is bad. >> neil: the government can see protesters not protesting the government but the evil banks, because banks are always evil. >> they're doing this because it's the regular cypriots who are getting here. not the russians.
1:11 pm
they got their money out. the very wealthy managed to protect themselves. it's the people who live in that country, who are so angry, protesting right this very minute who got hurt. >> neil: how bad does this get as far as a scandal and how much it hurts banks, there, here, everywhere? >> imagine this country is only the size of yellowstone national park. the population is as big as dallas but the ramifications and reverberation, why don't people in spain take money out of the bank. people in eu said we love this idea of taking money out of individual banking deposits. so, it's going to happen again. so why you keep your money in a european bank at this point? i have no idea. there could be more runs. >> neil: we'll watch very closely. thank you very much. and i think she put it in very, very clear perspective here. that's why we're on the street, because i don't want to be a fatalist but it could happen here, and anyone who tells you that it's unprecedented, it's
1:12 pm
going after assets, remember what they're doing with healthcare. they are going after assets. they are taxing you on your estate. they are taxing you with a hsu tax on any investment you sell north of $200,000 in profit. so, in other words, we have established a precedence for going after what you own. they just taken it to the next level in cyprus, going after the bank deposit accounts you have. so, not a very big leap. and speaking of things that aren't a very big leap, healthcare and the spending that doesn't stop, and apparently neither do the surprises. there's something in the law that is going to make you pretty sick, because when you have to click the form on a check lift for the procedures you might want to qualify for, there's also a little item about, do you want to register to vote? i kid you not. on a form about healthcare, a question about registering to vote.
1:13 pm
we, you decide, after this. what's droid-recognition ? understanding you clearly... what is the capital of zimbabwe ? ... the first time you ask with the google voice search. the droid razr maxx hd by motorola.
1:14 pm
droid recognition. droid powerful. it's not what you think. it's a phoenix with 4 wheels. it's a hawk with night vision goggles. it's marching to the beat of a different drum. and where beauty meets brains. it's big ideas with smaller footprints. and knowing there's always more in the world to see. it's the all-new lincoln mkz.
1:15 pm
the longest 4g lte battery in a razr thin profile. with 32 hours of battery life that turns an all-nighter, into a two-nighter. the droid razr maxx hd by motorola. droid-endurance. droid-powerful.
1:16 pm
>> shepard: i had to run back here. but not a moment too soon. the president has signed a spending bill to fund the government through september. what it does is keep all the sequestration cuts in place but at least the government keeps the lights on until the end of september when they'll no doubt be haggling over still other issues and threatening a shutdown or god knows what then. but for now, keep going. all right in the meanwhile, getting out the vote with the healthcare law. a draft of the new online healthcare application also lets people register to vote. toward the end of a 61-page document there's a questioning asking if the applicant wants to register. answer yes, and there will be a link to registration form. critics are raising serious questions about that. so you could argue from the
1:17 pm
white house perspective, tim, on this is just an added feature, function. you could argue from the republican's perspective, wait a minute. is this a way of strong arming people that the only way to get these benefits or this help is registering to vote? >> yes. and it's -- as my colleague pointed out, it's in a section about eligibility for the obamacare aid for health care. so it reads -- it's after they say, were you rejected? would you like to appeal? it reads as if this is a way to get government aid is to register vote. that's one problem. and seems like asking people to register to vote in the context of giving them government aid is self-prejudicial. they're saying, huh, president obama or the next president, whoever that it, might give me money, should i register to vote. that's preparing dissing
1:18 pm
potential voters. >> neil: do you think people would look at that and assume from that, that if they don't express an interest in registering to vote, or by extension vote democrat or register democrat, that they're somehow jeopardizing the benefits to which they're entitled? >> aside from the partisanship, any of that would happen on a deep subconscious level, but certainly looks like one way to be eligible to get this government aid is to register to vote. you may not think -- registering to vote. i registered to vote. but we have the right not to register to vote. >> neil: you're right. i hearot you're saying. there's clearly an inference here that maybe if i don't, some of this is at risk. >> absolutely. >> neil: i'm showing my legal ignorance. is there anything wrong with including this among the features or freebies you get in checking off a list? >> certainly the administration has -- it's not breaking any
1:19 pm
law, but insists included in what is prescribed by the obamacare law, but hr3590 and its supplemental bill. those things said there's going to be the aid for people who can't afford their insurance premium, and if the administration -- they're only allowed to implement the law. if they're going outside of the law, then maybe this isn't something that is authorized. so even if it's not breaking an explicit law, you can only do what congress gives it the power to do. >> neil: my only worry with this is in looking at this latest example, some of the surprising costs included, i'm almost fearful of the next crime i'm going to uncover, or guys like you can uncover. what do you think? >> i think throughout the rollout of obamacare we've seen that nancy pelosi was exactly right. we had to pass the bill to find out what was in it. the idea they would mandate employers, religious employers
1:20 pm
to pay for the insurance for contraception for their employees, that was not in the text of the bill. we had no idea that was coming. all sorts of bits about bad legislating and some programs are completely going to self-destruct, and then end up having to pull it out. it will cost more than we thought it would. so the prizes from obamacare are far from over. >> neil: never known a republican big budget item or a democratic big budget item that hasn't ended up costing a hell of a lot more than they thought. >> exactly. >> neil: meantime, remember those illegal releases due to mandatory spending cuts. today we found out who those illegals are and how dangerous some of them were.
1:21 pm
1:22 pm
1:23 pm
>> neil: i.c.e. claims they let
1:24 pm
mostly low risk illegals go due to the forced buts from sequestration cuts. apparently that was not entirely the case. a new report in florida alone, 76 to 25 released in hat criminal convictions. katy is tracking the story. leaving aside the fact that a lot of these let-goes were done prior to cuts that were supposedly coming into effect -- those specific cuts never did -- the argument was that these were weren't going to be dangerous people. it's the opposite. how bad is this any. >> pretty bad in florida, third of the criminals released by i.c.e. has criminal convictions that refer to aggravated assault. robbery. drunk driving. we saw the same thing happen in arizona and texas. and so this shows a gross disregard for public safety in the name of sequestration, which
1:25 pm
we have seen. fear mongers make it seem like the general public can't function without the government money but the fact i homeland security has nearly 2,000 inspector general recommendations saving billions of dollars to prevent these dangerous criminals from being out on the streets, and now they're there the question is who will be held accountable if these criminals go out and offend again? they have 576% chance they -- >> neil: the ones released, if you organize the more dangerous ones think will be monitored. i don't note if that's ankle bracelets. whenever. they're monitored. so if they're up to no go authorities would no. and in the interim it's a lot cheaper doing that than keeping them detained and paying loot more. what do you think? >> right. i can tell you that someone who gets killed by a drunk driver who happened to be let out by i.c.e., that question of what is cheaper is going to be a big one for the administration and
1:26 pm
i.c.e. we can talk about the cost to keep these people in jail, but the fact is that this is kind of a doubling of resources. i they have to go out and use resources resources to monitor these people, and if you look at the waste and abuse in homeland securing, whether it's tsa buying brand new uniforms of having gyms where they work out is that, that should have been look at before deciding to release criminals, guilty of aggravated assaults or drunk driving, on to the streets. >> neil: the bigger issue whether you're on the right or left is the fact you're releasing people based on cuts that were supposed to happen and never did happen in that area. so you were pre-cutting based on cuts that were never happening. so, that argument has to be addressed. and i don't see anyone addressing it. >> pre-cuts and the argue.
1:27 pm
they used to push sequestration jessica and fear mongering in general that were never made, but also we were told that we have -- lied to by the head of i.c.e. when he said we weren't going to release as many criminal illegal immigrants on the streets and they'll be low level. and we have seen a lot of them are high profile, the most risky types of criminals to release, and like you said, they're being monitored. that doesn't mean they'll commit a crime when they're in limbo and waiting for i.c.e. to rearrest them and throw them back in prison. >> neil: dhs made a statement these decisions were made case by case by career law enforcement officials in the field. apparently signal nothing chicanery involved. what do you think? >> that would be great if it added up. there are other cuts that could have been made other, things that could have been implemented. dhs is one of the first federal
1:28 pm
agencies when it comes to not implementing inspector general recommendations recommendations to save taxpayer money and clean up the system. so janet napolitano who overall is in charge of this, says she is doing everything she can, and has to find pa way pay for these beds. maybe she should have gone to president obama and saying, can you please implement these taxpayer solutions that will save us billions of dollars not just now but every single year moving forward. that's something they should have looked at. >> neil: the bottom line, the sequestration affects are in, and the president signed a bill to keep the government running. >> and the bad guy's in jail, right? >> neil: this ad was not supposed to see the light of day. until i it did. now an american car company is apologizing, but is that enough to stop these girls from
1:29 pm
strategizing. docoat -- do they have a case? i had enough of feeling embarrassed about my skin.
1:30 pm
[ designer ] enough of just covering up my moderate to severe plaque psoriasis. i decided enough is enough. ♪ [ spa lady ] i started enbrel. it's clinically proven to provide clearer skin. [ rv guy ] enbrel may not work for everyone --

[ male announcer ] enbrel may lower your ability to fight infections. serious, sometimes fatal events, including infections, tuberculosis, lymphoma, other cancers, nervous system and blood disorders, and allergic reactions have occurred. before starting enbrel, your doctor should test you for tuberculosis and discuss whether you've been to a region where certain fungal infections are common. you should not start enbrel if you have an infection like the flu. tell your doctor if you're prone to infections, have cuts or sores, have had hepatitis b, have been treated for heart failure, or if you have symptoms such as persistent fever, bruising, bleeding, or paleness. if you've had enough, ask your dermatologist about enbrel.
1:32 pm
>> neil: kim, cortney. ford motor company apologizing
1:33 pm
for this ad. made by an agency in india. never supposed to be published and then it leaked online and now the kardashians are telling fox they're exploring legal options. do they have a case? >> i think they do. the kardashian name for whatever reason is a brand, and they -- their name sales a lot of product. >> neil: what did they do to warrant this enormous attention. >> they're famous for whatever reason. so their name carries a lot of weight. their name is a brand now. and so they sell a kind of product. so whenever someone in an advertising agency, major company, uses their likeness and their image, without their permission, they absolutely can be subject to liability here. now, can the parent company be held responsible here? this was a subsidiary, a smaller
1:34 pm
advertising agency that unintentionally, their allegation, released the image. so how much control does the parent company have? can they actually -- is it something they're in control of or should have known about in advance? >> itive agree. first of all, from my understanding it was a contracting company. so they farmed the work out. >> neil: but in corporate law, that doesn't matter. >> it does matter -- >> neil: i've watched a lot of law shows. think i would know. >> i'm just a tv lawyer. but the thing is that they did farm out the work. >> neil: how did it get online. >> it was leaked. the intent -- there was no intent by ford that we know of to use this. no approval. it was a leak. it didn't go to print, and the kardashians are exploring and will be exploring for a long time because i don't see there's
1:35 pm
any claim here. >> neil: the same ad agency had another ad featuring the former prime minister silvio berlusconi, and a bunch of scantily clad women in the trunk. so, the kardashians then would have to argue, we're all offended, not just us, right? >> their lawsuit would be for their inning and their right because they the at the right to have that image from being distorted, particularly given their status. >> neil: maybe intent matters. these were never intended for paid publication, should never have been created. let alone uploaded to the internet. we deeply regret this incident, an incident for which they really were not responsible. >> they're not responsible but they are because, again, they farmed the work out. the opinion is it was never
1:36 pm
used -- >> neil: when you have paralegals working for you and they screw up, it's on you. >> of course, and you're potentially liable. >> neil: someone will never go to you again. >> at the offend the day this is just really bad and bad taste but -- okay. it's not even a trunk of a car. it was the back seat of the car. yes, they're bound -- i'm not defending it. but there's not like some kind of murder connotation or something. it's just bad comedy. it's parity. >> neil: one of them they're tied up. >> oh, my god. terrible. >> neil: leave that alone. i think we need to show more kardashian video to get to the bottom of this. >> doesn't matter whether they're tied up. it was in bad taste. the fact their images were used, and again, even though it's unintentional, now the ad is out there. people are talking about this ad. the car associated -- >> they're going to sell more reality shows. they're going to profit off it
1:37 pm
indirectly. they did not -- >> neil: no way they profit off of this. >> of course, people like -- >> neil: unless ford gives them a free car. >> the one person in the world that doesn't know kim kardashian is watching the show -- >> neil: why do you assume that one person is watching the show. you're saying we're not hip. >> the -- they will explore this -- >> neil: not the first time patient company -- parent company has had to pay up for the sins of even an errant contractor. right? >> this is something i think was internal, and for whatever reason it got leaked, but never went to -- wasn't something that was put out. think about all the internal things that go on. should we do this or that. neil northeasterly it's odd that you would sue anyone for just breathing, but in this case, -- >> i'm a defense lawyer. i defend. the kardashians are going to argue the bottom line is their
1:38 pm
brand was taken advantage of. >> neil: neither of you know who is behind this prank. >> if you know their brand go to foxnews.com. >> neil: ladies, thank you very, very, very much. will the talking bat project on ice. the keystone pipeline hat one hockey koch dropping his gloves.
1:39 pm
1:40 pm
1:41 pm
>> neil: did a legend of the ice call the president of the united states a hockey puck? darryl sutteres shooting slap shots. this one led the l.a. kings to the stanley cup last year and visited the white house today. but instead of doing a little keystone lecturing, telling the reporter, damn right, he was going to ask the question about the stalled project. saying the delay makes no sense. he is not the only canadian to
1:42 pm
say that: what the puck is going on, frank? >> be careful, neil. i've seen a host do that. >> neil: i practiced it. i'm a professional. >> it's a single word and that word is security. the american people believe that it is essential that our energy resources be secure, not be dependent on middle eastern oil, and anything that adds to that sense of security, particularly when it's so essential to the economy and to individuals, that they support it. recent polling has it over 70% want this keystone pipeline to be built. and i listened to you talking. i'm a big hockey fan. if you're american or canadian, it does not matter. you don't want get your energy outside of north america,. >> neil: if you're canadian as well, they'll just do business with china or they'll find a way to find someone else, and i
1:43 pm
guess whether that is a case of the canadians threatening us over this in a nice way, hockey way, but the point coming across fairly clearly. >> it's like a slap shot on goal. it's easy. the public believes the united states will develop the energy with more respect for the environment and more appreciation how the energy is harvested than china will or russia will so they wanted done here. second, it only makes common sense that it's going to be cheaper if it's developed in the u.s. and canada than if we have to shep it from five or six thousand miled away. third, there's a political component. we don't want to get entangled in any wars because of energy usage, so do it here. those three reaps is not just republicans but a majority of democrats support the project. >> neil: but it has divided democrats. environmentalists don't want this completed, no way no how. unions do because they like the jobs. so the president is going to
1:44 pm
tick swan else, -- someone else? >> my guess i he'll tick off the environmentalists because the highest priority for americans is new jobs and the unions have been saying to at the president, we brought you the victory. now you have to bring us something, and they expect it to be here. one more point. we know how tenuous this economic recovery is, and i don't think the president want0s to do anything that might undermine it any further than has been undermined over the last few months. >> neil: thank, thank you. good seeing you again. >> from gas prices to driving up healthcare costs, a new poll show the majority of americans will be paying more for health care. and their quality of care will suffer as well. what is your big worry? >> i would just like to see -- i'm not worried.
1:45 pm
just like to see the exchanges go into effect as close to the time as reported, and -- >> feel neil how would that help? >> 31 million people will be covered, and we're looking forward to that. that's 31 million people who will have some sort of payment, and are -- we can give them care and i'm looking forward to that. >> neil: a lot of people in america who have coverage are seeing their premium goes up a lot. a lot of their cost hospital-rye letted cost goes up. this is a temporary phenomenon once the 31 million are? >> i think the piper has to be paid. 31 million people are going to be costly. and i think we've seen device manufacturers are now quite upset about the tax there. there is a tax on employers that has just come to light. $65 annually for each worker. i didn't know about that up
1:46 pm
until three days ago. so, -- >> neil: is the fear that these costs are way beyond what people thought at the time? because i think of you and i chatted when this was coming together, if you're going to add 32 million people, to healthcare and cover precysting conditions and all of this is going to be hunky doctory, you have to pay for that. you don't get the goodies up front and that's fine. but then you have to pay the piper. >> i think people are naive if the think there's a free lunch. you have 31 million people. and you pointed out, no preexisting conditions. people who are 26 years old can stay on their parents' policies. this all has to be paid for, and preventive care, all good things but it's got to be paid for. so you have to weigh the cost against the benefits. we're happy to see 31 million more people having an ability to pay. >> neil: i always think if it
1:47 pm
costs -- premiums are increasing, taking on the responsibilities -- does it ease once all these people come in the season and things even out and we realize the best interests of lower healthcare prices, cheap are hospitalizations. that's the argue. >> i would like to see that happen but i don't know. i think that the program may have been sold on that basis, and if we live long enough, maybe that will happen. but it remains to be seen. there are ten thousand people a day turning 65. three and a half million people a year. those people consumer mow -- more healthcare, more doctor visits, more hospitalizations, so a strain on the system. >> neil: very quickly here. the administration says we're going to ride out these bumps. you sound like you don't believe that. >> ride out the bumps with the
1:48 pm
administration. >> neil: okay, all is fine. thank you very much, allen miller. in the meantime, as if the healthcare law isn't cost something americans can now paying for coverage for those who aren't even americans? get ready. it gets worse. so listen up and get prepared to pay up. we went out and asked people a simple question: how old is the oldest person you've known? we gave people a sticker and had them show us. we learned a lot of us have known someone who's lived well into their 90s. and that's a great thing.
1:49 pm
but even though we're living longer, one thing that hasn't changed: the official retirement age. ♪ the question is how do you make sure you have the money you need to enjoy all of these years. ♪ .
1:50 pm
1:51 pm
>> neil: maybe the problem was the president promising healthcare for everyone. now folks who shouldn't even be their, they want in. >> i'm undocumented. >> i'm undocumented be i dream that one day -- >> we'll all be treated as one people. >> we're all one people. >> we work hard. >> everyone gets sick, andize many of us do not have health
1:52 pm
care. >> our country has spoken saying that everybody should have affordable health care. does that mean everyone everyone. >> neil: well, it means every legal american. michelle fields says land of opportunity? yes, land of handouts? no. there is a bit of a -- pardon my expression -- ballsy necessary to this ad campaign. it's like, we're here, might be here unlegally or undocumented, but since we are here, we've been here a long time, we're entitled to the same thing american citizens are. what do you think of that approach? go on offense. >> well, look, now they're saying they want free healthcare, illegal aliens do but let's get this straight. there's no such thing as free healthcare. money needs to be taken from someone's paycheck to fund this. now they want to take now out of an american citizen's paycheck and give it to an illegal illen.

thates crazy. this country is the land of opportunity, the land of freedom, of liberty, not the land of free stuff, and that's what this country is turning into. what kind of people are we attracting when we have all these free stuff? people want to come here to open a business, novelty get free things and that's what is happening. >> neil: i look at this and say there's the -- look at a practical reason for covering them of they might be a big reason why healthcare costs soared, since we're covering them when they go to the emergency room and you provide health care. maybe this is cheaper in the long bun but you could flip that around and say it encouraging more of this same illegal activity in both the short and the long run. what do you think? >> i absolutely agree. i think what this is doing is contributing to our immigration system. our poor immigration sim. we knee comprehensive immigration reform. right now we have such a screwed
1:54 pm
up system that people who want to come here legally and achieve the american dream, it's so hard for them. however, on the other hand, people who want to come here illegally, it's very easy for them. almost like we're encouraging them to come here and take advantage of all of these programs. if we want to stop this, we need immigration reform. we don't need to give them free healthcare and all these freebies. look at what is happening right now? we're trying to give free health care to our citizens. american citizens, and we're seeing health premiums all over the country, including california, where this is being proposed, going up by almost 20%. what happens when we add three million more people? >> neil: they could be looking at the -- states like california trying to provide education and other states. i think maryland trying to provide licenses. in other words, all of this states, whether you agree or disagree, say, they're here, they're that going, sew might as well provide either documentation and or benefits
1:55 pm
that in the long run will make it cheaper for us, i guess in the case of a license. then if you're an american citizen, a victim of a hit-and-run by an illegal, you have someone to sue. i can understand that arguement to a going but -- to agree but i think it brings on goofy legal behavior. >> immigrants want to come here because the want to open a business. when you are giving everything out for free, what kind of people are you attracting? what kind of immigrants are are you attracting? we're spending so much money on health care. it's impossible for us to now add three million more people. if you look how premiums are going up, medical claims are supposed to go up by an average 32% across the country, and just in california, it's supposed to go up by 62%. >> neil: how much do you think is emboldened by knowing they're
1:56 pm
not going to kick anybody out. so if you have the sense you're here, you're not going away anytime soon -- >> well, that's why we need to make comprehensive immigration reform the number one thing right now so we can solve this problem and move on. >> neil: they know that's coming in one way, shape or form, so they can properly conclude from that, well, looks unlikely we'll be kicked out because they're working on a way to keep us here, so have at it. >> when they become citizens, yes, they can get all the services we get. >> neil: all right, michelle. thank you very much. this just in. banks in cyprus still closed, but focus not on the angry protesters who just want their money. focus how easily the government took their money. so fast, so scary. hey, we got our cards, honey!
